From chessdiscussions: FACTS as I know them so far: 1. No contractor had the authorization to start an investigation using the USCF confidential data.

Why is it that in the ENTIRE WORLD of chess politics ONLY problems with the USCF are aired online here to any degree? We don't seen to have problems in the ECF, ICU, SCF CCF or ECU? What makes the USCF so special? There must be something? How are these other organizations different from the USCF? Think hard and honestly and come up with a thoughtful reply. Rob
